| One of the best anime episodes I have ever seen. Flawless. Definitely among the top shounen fights of all time. Fast paced, amazing animation, very good metaphors and dialogue, great twist at the end. There is literally nothing I can complain about. I applaud you, Madhouse. Well done. You brought a tear to my eye. |
Just sit back, and let your tears do the talking as I save you. |
| MASTERPIECE, MAGNIFICENT THE BEST THING I EVER WATCH. I literally for the first time in my life i cry with a episode of anime. One life experience like nothing else before. THANK YOU MADHOUSE THANK TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS ANIME POSSIBLE. |

KaedeKyl9 said: cronosteso23 said: jajajaja we know that Naruto is a masterpiece without any mistake or deux ex machina because is 100% logical. What is Deux Ex Machina??? Mirai Nikki Reference?? or the manga with that name? ''Deus ex machina (pronounced [ˈdeus eks ˈmaː.kʰi.na], /ˈdeɪ.əs ɛks ˈmɑːkiːnə/ or /ˈdiːəs ɛks ˈmækɨnə/[1]; from Latin, meaning "god from the machine"; plural: dei ex machina) is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved by the contrived and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability or object. Depending on how it is done, it can be intended to move the story forward when the writer has "painted themself into a corner" and sees no other way out, to surprise the audience, to bring the tale to a happy ending, or as a comedic device.'' |
 |
| HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK |
| This was a really nicely directed and animated episode, bravo Madhouse never cease to amaze me! That nuclear explosion scene with the rose was really nicely done, wonder who key animated that :o? |
| Brilliant episode and I understand the asspull gesture for the arc but the way they wrap the bow and tie for this arc is spectacular and heart-wrenching too. Man, Miniature Rose is one scary bomb. I can't wait to see the faces of Pouf and Youpi when they see their King. |
| RIP Netero! |
 |
| Haha, this was awesome. Now I know why Knuckle and the other Hunters seemed so confident after losing to Youpi. Thinking about it, why would they not have some sort of counter measure? I mean, Netero went into the fight knowing there was no way in hell he would win. It only makes sense he would have an ace in the hole if you will. Also, this must have been another reason why he took the fight to such an out of the way area. I don't want to think this actually killed Meruem, but the narrator describing it as a "suprisingly lethal" explosion doesn't give me much hope. I hope he lives long enough to see Komugi one more time.... Netero was just fucking badass here, btw. |

| Forgot to add that I thought Netero was terrifying at the end. The way Madhouse directed that part was fantastic. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| This might just have been the best thing I have seen in anime. Absolutely brilliant. It's also amazing to see how important those scenes with Komugi actually were (not just concerning the king's personality). |
| This episode was amazing from the beginning to the end,the voice actors,the animation,the OST's every thing. Shoune anime like FT,Naruto,Bleach,OP take notes cause this is how you do a battle. |
| I see the haters are starting to poor in. 3 1/5s. It never stops being hilarious that people could hate anything so much. |

What is the true meaning behind that asspull? It shows that the show is realistic enough to acknowledge the inferiority of a certain side, that they don't use asspulls like power surges or sayian modes to wriggle out of it, but by using things alternative to Nen, which already exist in the world. It isn't actually like that, there is a deeper meaning. I'd like to explain it, but unfortunately I'm not that good with english. Also, to explain it properly I'd have to do spoilers and I bet Tsudecimo would still say that's an asspull, so I won't waste my time. well IMO. This Episode clearly show. how weak humans are. and needs to really on human technology. and is true in real life. no man how strong they might be is capable on n 1on1 a Tiger or any other predator without human innovation ex. weapons. |

Eutass said: xieghart said: The rose is a metaphore of the unpredicted human nature which when forced to its extreme limit, capable of performing whatever it takes to propagate humanity, even via unthinkable actions or act of malice. That's how evolution of human race continues, and it was Netero telling Mereum that humans shall prevail because human IS superior despite physically weaker. Absolutely brilliant stuff. Totally agree... Well said.. can anyone give that guy a medal? :3 |

It was even more terrifying in the manga, due to the art. Ugly art is not always a bad thing. Pandarenboy said: Naruto has worse "asspulls" in every single chapter. Cool but what's the relevance here? |

Cresherhsm said: Pandarenboy said: Naruto has worse "asspulls" in every single chapter. Putting the Naruto part of your comment aside, how is the rose even an asspull? there an idiot. this anime shows's a realistic view of humanity. unlike naruto and bleach. there MC gets powerup all the time they lose. they hate this show so much cuz there's so much worst. |

I mean, i don't agree with him in any way in The Rose subject, but it's just low to bring up other series a user likes in order to try to make his opinion less credible. It makes you look like an asshole. |

Still, bringing up unrelated series to the discussion is not much better. Comparisions are meningless because what other series does or stop doing doesn't has any effect in this one. I understand that you want to prove your point, but lets just keep the arguments in HxH and lets avoid making any more flame wars. |

| I think it's kinda amazing that people seem to miss my point and my actual problem with the rose. Well, w/e, I literally repeated it 5 times or more. Andan210 said: Tsudecimo hates One Piece and Bleach I don't think I hate Bleach, I mean I gave it a 7 and I'm re-watching it. One piece is debatable. |
|
| Seriously we can defend HxH without personal insults or trowing other animes under a bus. Let's drop this naruto argument. Anyways just re-watched the episode for the 3 time, yes I loved it that much, if this is an asspull than I hope Togashi will continue to pull shit out of his ass cuz the man he shits gold!! |

What is Deux Ex Machina??? Mirai Nikki Reference?? or the manga with that name? I quote - "These days, deus ex machina has the negative connotation of an utterly improbable, illogical or baseless plot twist that drastically alters the situation, as if the "deus ex machina" came down to give fate that little push." It's not really a dues ex machina because netero knew he would lose all the way back when Colt measured his strenght and he went to make preparations. Ummm, I dont quite understand it, it is same as asspull? Either way, in this chapter, i give this... http://puu.sh/8aetE.jpg A deus ex machina, as my professor explained it earlier in this semester, is a point in which an author writes themselves into a corner with no other foreseeable solution and therefore has to write themselves out of said hole with stuff that doesn't really make sense. So like, if there was a guy fighting a dragon in a sealed off cave and his only weapon is destroyed, looking like all hope is lost yet there just so happens to be an even stronger weapon conveniently just chilling in the cave so that the hero has a means to defeat the dragon and continue the story. That's the best example that I could come up with to explain his definition of the term. OOOHhhh thank you for your explanation and the example, i get now, your professor is great at teaching |

| Are you serious dude. At least 10+ pages were created from me arguing why it's an asspull, that and people bashing me and Naruto, tsk tsk. |

tsudecimo said: Guilek said: It isn't an asspull. We can see it coming when Knov speak to Knuckle and Morel. What chapter are you referring to? ValeBreck said: Meruem could have just died because of Netero's Zero Hands, so I don't see how that is an asspull. But he didn't. Are you sure you know what an asspull means? ''An Ass Pull is a moment when the writers pull something out of thin air in a less-than-graceful narrative development, violating the Law of Conservation of Detail by dropping a plot-critical detail in the middle, or near the end of their narrative without Foreshadowing'' It's an asspull because he already posted what an asspull meant. clearly you missunderstood what an asspull is. |

tsudecimo said: Are you serious dude. At least 10+ pages were created from me arguing why it's an asspull, that and people bashing me and Naruto, tsk tsk. 10 pages of people proving that it's not an asspull and you ignoring them for said bashing comments, because that's what seems you're really after. Also, it's hard not to bring up comparisons when it seems SO peculiar the one thing you loathe so much is in your favorite show 100 times over with more clear evidence. So, you still owe an actual explanation as to why it's an asspull. Your only claim is that it was not foreshadowed, yet it was, not sure if you just don't want to think it was foreshadowed or for some other reasons... Repeating the same refuted reason is not "10 pages worth of explanation", still twisting the words. |
darkwizard19 said: I don't understand but I think most of everyone believes that Netero literally uses a bomb to kill The King. Am I the only here thinking that Netero uses a technique which I believe a Creed and Limitation/Restriction technique? Miniature Rose is a very powerful technique only possible by Creed and Limitation but in expense of the nen user's life, that's the restriction. No, it's a literal bomb. |
